Good Question. It is definitely NOT something that I have added to my
environment.

One frustrating thing I need to add to this: the last time this
happened, I just kept trying to compile kdebase with no alterations
made to kdebase/konqueror/Makefile.am and eventually, it just started
working again. Then this problem just started up again, and I
duitifully report it to this list. Guess what? A day or so ago,
kdebase/konqueror/keditbookmarks just started compiling perfectly
again....
